Sebastijan This is MC-1A Air Compressor. I googled out half of the Internet to find this out :)/> ya_gabor Yes, you are right, fuel line clearly shows where the truck or pump is. Things get much more clear in this photo when you know where to look :)/> Flankerman This guy in the center should pay more attention to the multi-million roubles nuclear bomber he is servicing, than to the girl he is talking to :D/> I don't think there was any special intention to use NATO-compatible jacks, it is just impractical. Different standards, different specifications of hydraulic, pneu

Hi, #1 Greywolf, thanks for your reply. So that green air compressor is just standing here and doesn't have any relation to the refueling process, right? In August 1989 two Fulcrums and AN-225 participated in Abbotsford International Airshow, Canada. While travelling to the airshow they had to make a brief stop at Elmendorf AB for refueling. Here is nice selection of photos from this visit, including famous photo of F-15's meeting MiGs.

Hi, everyone, Can anybody familiar with airfield operations help me with the following question? There is a photo of Soviet MiG-29 at Elmendorf AB in 1989, which is signed 4. USSR and USA Maintenance Personnel Refuel a Soviet MiG-29 Fighter Jet (Tail Number 315) August 1989 Elmendorf Air Force Base, State of Alaska, USA However, I don't see any Fuel pump, just this green cart, which appears to be an air compressor. So what is the role of compressor in refueling process and what were these guys doing when the photo was taken? Thank you in advance Ilya

It looks better from some distance ;)/>

Still that issue should be fairly easy to overcome. One just need to use some critical thinking, don't follow the instructions and place the ramp in correct position. However, we'll see plenty of MiGs with "closed FODs"..

Some great close up photos here Saw three of them flying at MAKS 2013 today - spectacular performance!

1. This cutie is ZAZ-965 "Zaporozhets" nicknamed "Горбатый"-"Humpbacked", produced between 1962-1969. Sad to see it in such a bad shape. 2. Rust's Cessna is said to be stored in Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin
